PROCEEDINGS 



GENERAL SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 



Cantonment of the American Army 
On Hudson's River, .... 10th May, 1783. 

Proposals for establishing a Society, upon Principles 
therein mentioned, whose Members shall be Officers of the 
American Army, having been communicated to the several 
Regiments of 'the respective Lines, they appointed an Officer 
from each, who, in conjunction with the General Officers, 
should take the same into Consideration, at their Meeting 
this Day, at which the Honorable Major-General Baron de 
Steuben, the senior Officer present, was pleased to preside. 

The Proposals being read, fully considered, Paragrajjh 
by Paragraph, and the Amendments agreed to, Major- 
General Knox, Brigadier-General Hand, Brigadier-General 
Huntington, and Captain Sliaw were chosen to revise the 
same, and prepare a Copy to be laid before this Assembly, 
at their next Meeting, to be holden at Major-General Baron 
de Steuben's Quarters, on Tuesday the 13th instant. 

Tuesday, 13th May. 1783. 

The Representatives of the American Army being assem- 
bled, agreeably to Adjournment, the Plan for establishing 
a Society, whereof the Officers of the American Array are 
to be Members, is accepted, and is as follows, vizt. : 



6 SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 

THE INSTITUTION 

OF THE 

SOCIETY OF THE CINCINXATI. 

It having pleased the Supreme Governor of the Uni- 
verse, in the Disposition of Human Aifairs, to cause the 
Separation of the Colonies of North America from the 
Domination of Great Britain, and after a bloody Conflict of 
Eight Years to establish them free and independent 
sovereign States, connected by Alliances founded on recip- 
rocal Advantage with some of the Great Princes and 
Powers of the Earth. 

To perpetuate, therefore, as well the Remembrance of this 
'^ Vast Event as the mutual Friendships which have been 
formed under the Pressure of common Danger, and in 
many Instances cemented by the Blood of the Parties, the 
Officers of the American Army do hereby in the most 
Solemn Manner associate, constitute, and combine them- 
selves into one Society of Friends, to endure as long as 
they shall endure or any of their Eldest Male Posterity, 
and in failure thereof the Collateral Branches, who may l)e 
judged worthy of becoming its Supporters and M(!mbcrs. 

The Officers of the American Army, having generally 
been taken from the Citizens of America, possess high 
Veneration for the Character of that illustrious Roman, 
Lucius Quintius Cincinxatus, and being resolved to 
follow his Example by returning to their Citizenship, they 
think they may with Propriety denominate themselves 
The Society of the Cincinnati. 

The following Principles shall be immutable, and form 
the Basis of The Society of the Cincinnati. 

An Incessant Attention to preserve inviolate those 



INSTITUTION. 7 

exalted Rights and Liberties of Human Nature for whieli 
they have fought and bled, and witliout which the high 
Rank of a Rational Being is a Curse Instead of a Blessing. 

An unalterable Determination to promote and cherish 
between the respective States that Union and national 
Honour so essentially necessary to their happiness, and the 
future Dignity of the American Empire. 

To render permanent the cordial Affection subsisting 
among the officers ; this Spirit will dictate Brotherly Kind- 
ness in all things, and particularly extend to the most sub- 
stantial Acts of Beneficence, according to the Ability of the 
Society, towards those Officers and their Families who 
unfortunately may be under the Necessity of receiving it. 

The General Society will, for the Sake of frequent Com- 
munications, be divided into State Societies, and these again 
into such Districts as shall be directed by the State Society. 

The Societies of the Districts to meet as often as shall be 
agreed upon by the State Society, those of the State on the 
fourth day of July annually, or oftener if they shall find it 
expedient ; and the General Society on the first Monday in 
May annually, so long as they shall deem it necessary ; and 

afterwards at least once in every three years At 

each Meeting the Principles of the Institution Mall be fully 
considered, and the best Measures to promote them adopted. 

The State Societies will consist of all the Members 
resident in each State respectively ; and any Member 
removing from one State to another is to be considered, in 
all Respects, as belonging to the Society of the State in 
.which he shall actually reside. 

The State Societies to have a President, a Vice-President, 
Secretary, Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer, to be chosen 
annually, by a Majority of Votes, at the State Meeting. 

Each State Meeting shall write annually, or oftener if 
necessary, a circular Letter to the other State Societies, 



» SOCIETY OF THE CINCLNNATI. 

noting- whatever they may think worthy of Observation 
respecting the good of the Society or the general Union of 
the States, and giving Information of the Officers chosen 
for the current year ; Copies of these Letters shall be regu- 
larly transmitted to the Secretary-General of the Society, 
who will Record them in a Book to be assigned for that 
purpose. 

The State Society will regulate everything respecting 
itself, and the Societies of its Districts, consistent with the 
general Maxims of the CiMfiNis^ATi ; judge of the Qualifi- 
cations of the Members wlio may be proposed, and expel 
any jNIember who, by a Conduct inconsistent M'ith a Gen- 
tleman and a Man of Honor, or by an Opposition to the 
Interests of the Conmuinity in general, or the Society in 
particular, may render himself unworthy to continue a 
Member. 

In order to form Funds which ma}' be respectable and 
assist the unfortunate, each Officer shall deliver to the 
Treasurer of the State Society one Month's Pay, which 
shall remain forever to the use of the State Society, the 
Interest only of which, if necessary, to be appropriated to 
the Relief of the Unfortunate. 

Donations may be made by Persons not of the Society, 
and by Members of the Society, for the express purpose of 
forming permanent Funds for the use of the State Society, 
and the Interest of these Donations appropriated in the 
same manner as that of the IVIonth's Pay. 

Monies, at the Pleasure of each Member, may be sub- 
scribed in the Societies of the Districts, or the State Societies, 
for the Relief of the unfortunate Members, or their Widows 
and Orphans, to be appropriated by the State Society only. 

The jNIeeting of the General Society shall consist of its 
Officers, and a Representation from each State Society in 



INSTITUTION. 9 

number not exceeding five, whose Expenses shall be borne 
by their respective State Societies. 

In the General Meeting, the President, Vice-President, 
Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, and Assistant 
Treasurer-Generals, shall be chosen to serve until the next 
Meeting. 

The circular Letters which have been written by the 
respective State Societies to each other, and their particular 
Laws, shall be read and considered, and all Measures con- 
certed which may conduce to the general Intendment of 
the Society. 

It is probable that some Persons may make Donatious 
to the General Society, for the Purpose of establishing 
Funds for the further Comfort of the Unfortunate ; in 
wliich Case such Douations must be placed in the hands of 
the Treasurer-General, the Interest only of Avhich to be 
disposed of, if necessary, by tlie General Meeting. 

All the Officers of the American Army, as well those 
who have resigned with Honor after three Years' Service 
in the Capacity of Officers, or who have been deranged by 
the Resolutions of Congress upon the several Reforms of 
the Army, as those who shall have continued to the End of 
the War, have the Right to become Parties to this Institu- 
tion ; provided that they subscribe one Month's Pay, and 
sign their Names to the general Rules in their respective 
State Societies ; those who are present with the Army 
immediately ; and others within Six Months after the 
Army shall be disbanded, extraordinary Cases excepted ; 
The Rank, time of Service, Resolution of Congress by 
which any have l)een deranged, and place of Residence 
must be added to each Name ; and as a Testimony of 
Affection to the Memory and the Offs^jring of such Officers 
as have died in the Service, their eldest Male branches shall 



10 SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 

have the same Riji'ht of becoming Members as the Children 
of the actual Members of the Society. 

Those Officers who are Foreigners, not resident in any 
of the States, will have their Names enrolled by the 
Secretary-General, and are to be considered as INIembers in 
the Societies of any of the States in which they may happen 
to be. 

And as there are and will at all times be Men in the 
respective States, eminent for their Abilities and Patriotism, 
whose Views may be directed to the same laudable Objects 
with those of the Cincinnati, it shall be a Rule to admit 
such Characters as honorary Members of the Society for 
their own Lives only : Provided always, that the number 
of honorary Members in each State does not exceed a Ratio 
of one to four of the Officers or their Descendants. 

Each State Society shall obtain a List of its Members, 
and at the first annual meeting the State Secretary shall 
have engrossed on Parchment two Copies of the Insti- 
tution of the Society, which every Member present shall 
sign ; and the Secretary shall endeavor to procure the 
Signature of every absent Member ; one of these Lists to 
be transmitted to the Secretary-General, to be kept in the 
Archives of the Society, and the other to remain in the 
hands of the State Secretary. 

From the State Lists the Secretary-General must make 
out at the first general Meeting a complete List of the 
Avhole Society, witli a copy of wliich he will furnish each 
State Secretary. 

The Society shall have an Order by A^-hich its Members 
shall be known and distinguished, which shall be a Medal 
of Gold, of a proper Size to receive the Emblems, and 
suspended by a deep blue Ribbon, two Inches wide, edged 
with White, descriptive of the Union of America and 
France, viz. : The Principal Figure to be Cincinnatus,

YiRTUTis Pr.emium. Below : Hands joined, supporting 
a heart with the Motto,- EsTO perpetua. Round the 
whole, Societas Cincinnatorum instituta A. D. 1783. 
The Society, deeply impressed with a sense of the generous 
Assistance this Country has received from France, and 
desirous of perpetuating the Friendships which have been 
formed and so happily subsisted between the Officers of the 
allied Forces in the prosecution of the War, direct that the 
President-General transmit as soon as may be, to each of 
the Characters hereafter named, a Medal containing the 
Order of the Society, viz. : His Excellency the Chevalier 
de la Luzerne, Minister Plenipotentiary ; His Excellency 
the Sieur Gerard, late Minister Plenipotentiary ; their 
Excellencies the Count D'Estaing, the Count de Grasse, the 
Count de Barras, the Chevalier de Touches, Admirals and 
Commanders in the Navy ; His Excellency the Count de 
Roehambeau, Commander-in-Chief; and the Generals and 
Colonels of his Army, and acquaint them that the Society 
does itself the honor to consider them Members. 

Resolved, That a Copy of the aforegoing Institution be 
given to the Senior Officer of each State Line, and that the 
Officers of the respective State Lines sign their Names to 
the same in manner and form following, vizt. : 

We the Subscribers, Officers of the American Army, do 
hereby voluntarily become Parties to the aforegoing Institu- 
tion, and do bind ourselves to observe and be governed by

14 SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 

and expressing the grateful Sense he entertains of the 
Honor conferred on himself and the other Gentlemen of 
the French Nation by this Act of the Convention. 

Resolved, That the Letter of the Chevalier de la Luzerne 
be Recorded in the proceedings of this day, and deposited 
in tlio Archives of the Society, as a Testimony of the high 
Sense this Convention entertains of the Honor done to the 
Society l>y his becoming a Member thereof. 

The letter is as follows : 

[Translation.] 

"Philadelphia, 3d June, 17.S3. 
"Sir: I have received, with much Gratitude, the Institution of 
the respectable Order that the Officers of the American Army have 
founded ; if Courage, Patience, and all the Virtues that this brave 
Army have so often displayed in the Course of this War, could 
ever be forgotten, this Monument alone should recall them. 

" I dare assure you, 8ir, that all the Officers of my Nation that 
you have been pleased to admit in your Society will be infinitely 
honored by it. I pray you to be fully persuaded I feel for my part 
in the most lively Manner the Honor the Officers of the Army 
have done me in deigning to think of me upon this Occasion. 

" I expect to pay my Eespects to His Excellency General Wash- 
ington as soon as the Definitive Treaty shall be signed, and I 
shall have the Honor of assuring them personally of my respectful 
Acknowledgment. 

"I seize with great Eagerness this Occasion of expressing to 
you the Sentiments'of the most perfect and most respectful Attach- 
ment with which I have the honor to be, Sir, 

" Your very humble and very obedient Servant, 

"Le Chevalier de la Luzerne. 
"To Baron de Steuben, 

" Major-General, In the service of the United States, Headquarters." 

The Baron having also communit;ated a Letter from 
Major L'Enfant, enclosing a Design for the Medal and 
Order, containing the Emblems of the Institution. 

Resolved, That the bald Eagle, carrying the Emblems on 
its Breast, be established as the Order of the Society, and 



ORDEK, 15 

that the Ideas of Major L'Sufimt respecting it aud the 
Manner of its being worn by the Members be adopted. 
That the Order be of the same size aud in every other 
Respect conformable to the said design, which for that 
purpose is certified by the Baron de Steuben, President of 
this Convention, and to be deposited in the Archives of the 
Society, as the Original from which all Copies are to be 

"lade Also, that Silver Medals, not exceeding the 

Size of a Spanish milled Dollar, with the Emblems as 
designed by Major L'Enfint and certified by the President, 
be given to each and every Member of the Society, together 
with a Diploma on Parchment, whereon shall be impressed 
the exact Figures of the Order and Medal, as above men- 
tioned, anything in the Original Institution respecting Gold 
Medals to the Contrary notwithstanding-. 
Major L'Enfant's letter is as follows : 

[Translation.] 

"Philadelphia, 10th June, 1783. 

" My General : Immediately on receiving your Letter of the 
20th May, which I met by Accident at the post-office on the 7th 
Instant, I set myself about the Plan of the Medal. I send you both 
faces of the Design, which I have made large so that you may 
better judge of them. In the Execution they can be reduced to "a 
convenient Size, which, on Account of the precision required in 
the Design, ought not to be less than a Dollar, the Subject being 
too complex to admit of its being properly detailed in a smaller 
Compass. 

"I have not made it oval, agreeably to your Desire, as such a 
form is not proper for a Medal ; besides it can be done in the Exe- 
cution, if the Idea should be persisted in of having the Order in 
that form, to which, however, I think any other preferable ; I also 
believe and hope that you will be persuaded of this, and endeavor 
to convince the Gentlemen of it who compose the Committee for 
forming the Institution, and to whom I beg you to communicate 
the following Observations. 

"A Medal, whether round or oval, is considered in the different 
States of Europe only as a Reward to the Laborer and the Artist, 



16 SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 

or as a Sign of a manufacturing Community or a Religious Society. 
Besides the abusive Custom prevailing particularly in Germany 
and Italy, of sending to France Mountebanks, Dancers, and 
Musicians ornamented in this Manner, renders it necessary to 
distinguish this Order by a P"'orm M'hich shall be peculiar to itself, 
and which will answer the two-fold purpose of honoring those in- 
vested with it, and making itself respected for its Simplicity by such 
as may be in a Situation minutely to examine its different parts. 

"Not that I suppose one form or another will change the 
Opinion of a Republican people accustomed to think, I only say 
that in an Institution of this Sort the Main Design should be to 
render it respectable to every Body, and that it is only by appeal- 
ing to the Senses that you can engage the Attention of the common 
People, who have certain habitual prejudices which cannot be 
destroyed. A Gentleman already invested with any European 
Order would be unwilling to carry a Medal, but if flattered by 
receiving a Mark of Distinction from a respectable Society he 
should do it, the manner of it would by no Means increase the 
Value of the Order. On the contrary, giving it a new and par- 
ticular Form will be adding a Recommendation to its real Value, 
and engage those invested with it to wear it in the same Manner 
as their other military Orders, which is the surest means of putting 
it at once upon a footing with them. 

"The bald Eagle, which is peculiar to this Continent, and is 
distinguished from those of other Climates by its white Head and 
Tail, appears to me to deserve Attention. 

" I send you two Essays which I have made, and desire one of 
them may be adopted instead of the Medal. In one I make the 
Eagle supporting a Star with thirteen points, in the Centre of 
which is the Figure of the Medal, with its Inscription as well in 
front as on the reverse. A Legend might be added in the Claws, 
and go round the Neck of the Eagle, with a particular Inscription, 
or the Contour of the Medal transferred there. In the other I 
have made simply the Eagle supporting on its Breast the Figure 
of the Medal, with a Legend in his Claws and about the Neck 
which passes behind and sustains the Reverse. I would prefer 
the latter, as it does not resemble any other Order and bears a 
distinct Character; nor will it be expensive in its execution. The 
first device, although more complex, would not be so dear as 
People might imagine, especially if the Execution of it should be 
committed to skillful persons, which would not be the Case any 



ORDER. 17 

more than with the Medal ; but by sending it to Europe, where it 
would not take up a great deal of Time, nor be so expensive, as to 
trust the Execution of it here to Workmen not well acquainted 
Avith the business. 

"A Medal is a Monument to be transmitted to Posterity, and 
consequently it is necessary that it be executed to the highest 
degree of perfection possible in the Age in which it is struck. 
Now to strike a Medal well is a Matter that requires practice and 
a good Die, and as there is not here either a Press proper for this 
Work nor People who can make a good die, I would willingly 
undertake to recommend the Execution of the Medal, the Eagle, 
or the Order, to such Persons in Paris as are capable of executing 
it to Perfection. 

" So far from proposing to change the oval Medal into an Eagle, 
on Avhich should be impressed the Medal, I do not pretend to say 
Medals cannot be made. On the contrary, my Idea of the Subject 
is that Silver Medals should be struck at the Common Expense of 
the Society, and distributed one to each Member, as an Append- 
age to a Diploma of Parchment, whereon it would be proper to 
stamp the Figure of the Medal, the Eagle, or the Star in its full 
Dimensions, and properly colored ; enjoining on the Members to 
conform to it, though leaving them the Liberty, provided it be at 
their own Expense, of having it made of such Metal and as small 
as they please, without altering any of the Euiblems. It seems to 
me by no means proper that the honorary Members should wear 
the Order in the same Manner as the original Members ; it would 
be necessary that they should wear the Medal, the Star or the 
Eagle round their Necks, and the Original Members at the third 
Buttonhole. 

" These Remarks, I beg you, my General, to have translated and 
submitted to the Gentlemen concerned. I shall be obliged to you 
to let me know the Issue of this Letter and their Decision upon it. 
" I have, etc., L'Exfaxt. 

" N. B. The Head and Tail of the Eagle should be Silver, or 
enamelled in white, the Body and Wings Gold, the Medal on its 
Breast and Back enamelled in the same Color as the Legend — 
Sprigs of Laurel and Oak might be added in the Wings and 
enamelled in green — the Star should be pointed in Gold or 
enamelled in blue and white ; those who would be at the Expense

might, instead of white, have Diamonds. The Ribbon, as is 
customary in all Orders, should be watered." 

Resolved, That the thanks of this Convention be trans- 
mitted bv the President to Major L'Enfant for his Care 
and Ingennitv in preparing- the aforementioned designs, and 
that he be acquainted that they cheerfullj embrace his Offer 
of Assistance, and request a Continuance of his Attention 
in carrying the Designs into Execution, for which purpose 
the President is desired to correspond with liim. 

Resolved, That His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief 
be requested to officiate as President-General until tlic first 
Greneral Meeting to be held in May next. 

That a Treasurer-General and a Secretary-General be 
balloted for, to officiate in like manner. 

The Ballots l)eing taken, Major-General ^McDougall was 
elected Treasurer-General, and Major-General Knox Secre- 
tary-General, who are hereby requested to accept said 
Appointments. 

Resolved, Tiiat all the Proceedings of this Convention, 
including the Institution of the Society, be Recorded from 
the Original papers in his possession, by Captain Shaw, 
who at the first Meeting was requested to act as Secretary, 
and that the same signed by the President and Secretary, 
together with the Original papers, be given into the Hands 
of Major-General Knox, Secretary-General to the Society, 
and that Captain Xorth, Aide-de-Camp to the Baron de 
Steuben and acting Secretary to him as President, sign the 
said Records. 

The Dissolution of a very consideraljle part of the Army, 
since the Last Meeting of the Convention, having; rendered 
the Attendance of some of its Members impracticable, and 
the Necessity for some temjjorarv Arrangements previous to 
the first Meeting of the General Society being so strikingly 
obvious, the C^onvention found itself constrained to make 



PROCEEDINGS. I9 

tliose before mentioued, which they have done with the 
utmost diffidence of themselves, and relying entirely on the 
Candor of their constituents to make Allowance for the 
Measure. The principal Objects of its Appointment being 
thus accomplished, the Members of this Convention think 
fit to dissolve the same, and it is hereby dissolved accord- 
ingly.

PRINCIPLES GOVERNING 

THE 

STATE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI 

OF PEXNSYLVANIA 

In the admission of Members, as shown by the Minutes 
of the Society. 



Only persons representing (as set forth in the Institu- 
tion) Original Members of the Society, or officers of the 
Continental Line who died in the Service, are eligible. 

Each Original Member can have but one representative. 

Each Original Member should be represented ; therefore, 
where the right to represent several Original Members 
would otherwise merge in one person, the Society prefers 
to keep these rights separate, and to admit a distinct repre- 
sentative in each right, where it can be done in accordance 
with the Institution. 

Where an Original Memljer tailed to contril^ute to the 
Treasury of the Society as directed by the Institution, his 
representative, when admitted to membership, must make 
good the amount due by the Original Member, together 
with interest at the rate of six per centum per annum from 
the time the original contribution was due to the date of 
the representative's admission to the Society, or pay a sum 
of money to be named by the Society. 



GOVERNING PRINCIPLES. 23 

Members of other State Societies of the Cincinnati seek- 
ing to associate themselves, l\v transfer, with the State 
Society of Pennsylvania, are required to bring themselves 
within the interpretation of the Institution as set forth in 
these principles. 

When a resident of Pennsylvania desires to be admitted 
to the State Society of Pennsylvania to represent an 
Original Member of another State Society, he must be first 
admitted to such State Soeietv and then transferred.

cinnati." 

(Endorsed.) 

" Mr. Harris produced a regular certificate from the Mary- 
land Society of the Cincinnati, signed by the Officers thereof 
in due form, being an exact copy of the original certificates, 
and just such an one as our own Society should possess.

land State Society of the Cincinnati is received as a member 
of this Society." 

Letter from the Secretary of the Maryland State Society, 
February 6, 1887, states " that Geo. W. Harris was elected to 
the Maryland Society of the Cincinnati on July 4th, 1852. 
He duly qualified, but I find no record of his transfer to the 
Pennsylvania Society. . . . He claimed as ' nephew and 
nearest male relative of John Montgomery, a member.' John 
Montgomeiy was elected in 1817, 'claiming as a brother of 
Major Sam. Montgomery of Penna. State Society of the 
Cincinnati.' "

At the meeting, 19 April, 1876 (of the State Society of the 
Cincinnati of South Carolina), the Standing Committee 
reported upon the application of Mr. E. D. McCullough, of 
Pennsylvania, for election as a member of the South Carolina 
Society, he deriving his right of membership from a former 
member of that Society, by the rules of which he would be 
entitled to admission. By the rules of the Pennsylvania 
Society he could not be admitted on that right, but such 
Society desired his admission to the South Cai-olina Society, so 
that thi'ough it he could be admitted to the Pennsylvania 
Society. The committee reported that they knew of no rule 
which prevented a citizen of another State from being admitted 
into the South Carolina Society. And that as the Pennsylva- 
nia Society desired it, they recommended a reference to a com- 
mittee to ascertain the right of Mr. McCullough by descent. 

The Society elected jNIr. E. D. McCullough as a member. —

Report of Subcommittee. 

"June 14, 1865. 

" The Committee appointed to consider the claims of Charles 
S. Peaslee, now residing in this city, to be admitted a member 
of the Society, respectfully report that Mr. Peaslee applies as 
the son of Zaccheus Peaslee, a Lieutenant in Hazen's Corps ; 
that Lieut. Peaslee's name is one of the signatures of the 
Institution by that Corps, and is also recorded by the Secre- 
tary General among those officers who are foreigners not resi- 
dent in any of the States, and are to be considered members 
in any of the States in which they may happen to be. In a 
note by the Secretary General, it is stated that these gentle- 
men, the officers of Hazen's Corps, not being returned as 
belonging to any State, are included under the general term 
Canadians. Also, that they subscribed an order for one 
month's pay drawn on the Quartermaster Genl. 

"Lieut. Peaslee was an inhabitant of Haverhill, Mass., but 
removed early to Burlington, Vermont. It does not appear 
that he became a member of the Massachusetts State Society, 
or any other, nor is there any evidence that the month's pay 
was actually paid. 

"As a precedent, the admission of Rev. Charles Augustus 
Morris, in 1816, into this State Society may be cited. It was 
in right of his father, Dr. John Morris, First Partizan Legion 
(Armand's). The descent, &c., were sufficiently attested, and 
a certificate signed by Genl. Washington, in which it is ex- 
pressly stated that Dr. JNIorris had complied with the regula- 
tions, was received as proof that the usual payment had been 
made. There had been a previous note on this subject, in 
which Dr. Morris referred to the papers in the Secretary 
General's possession as presumj^tive evidence that it had been

made. The fact that, under these circumstances, the certifi- 
cate signed by Genl. Washington was alluded to, seems to 
show that the subscription to the order on the Quartermaster 
Genl. for one month's pay was not considered at that time 
proof that the payment was actually made. 

"The accompanying declaration of Mr. David S. Brown 
establishes sufficiently the relationship of the applicant to the 
original member, but the Committee are of opinion that the 
month's pay of a Lieutenant of Infantry twenty-six j^^^ should 
be required with interest from Jany 1784 =; 155 y^o- 

" The Committee are of opinion that this payment would 
complete the right of the applicant to membership, and beg 
leave to recommend to the Standing Committee, when it is 
made, to report to the Society that Mr. Charles S. Peaslee is 
entitled to admission into the Society.
